The research group conducts its research activity in different lines of work:
Childhood and environment line Cohort study in collaboration with other research centres (INMA project) to share methodologies and knowledge on the effects of the environment on children's health, to describe the level of exposure and pollution during gestation and early childhood, to assess the role of the most common environmental pollutants and dietary protective factors on foetal growth and neuro-endocrine-immune development in order to develop environmental health indicators.
Air pollution and health line Study of the relationship between air pollution and health effects, developing multi-centre studies. Studies are also carried out to evaluate the impact of pollution on the health of the population.
Weather and climate line Evaluation of the relationship between climatic factors and meteorological variables, especially ambient temperature and health, as well as public health measures that can minimise the impact of foreseeable future climate changes.

Line of evaluation of the health impact of various environmental risks Through the measurement of the degree of exposure to risks, the development of biological markers and the relationship between these factors and the incidence of various pathologies. This impact is evaluated from different perspectives, ranging from environmental pollution (through biomarkers of exposure) to climate change (heat and cold waves), as well as the impact of certain technologies affecting the environment (mobile telephony, power lines, etc.).

- General objective: To study the relationship between environmental factors and human health. Specific objectives: To evaluate the impact of environmental pollutants on the health of the population, with special attention to vulnerable populations, such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, migrants, and people with fewer economic, social, or educational resources, through observational studies using the techniques and methods of environmental epidemiology. To estimate the degree of exposure to environmental risks in the population, especially residents of the Valencian Community, through the development of biological markers, environmental measurements, questionnaires, and information systems. To analyze the relationship between exposure to air pollution and the health of the population. To examine the effects associated with extreme temperatures (heat waves and cold spells), as well as the possible health consequences of climate change.
- Childhood and environment.Describe the level of exposure and pollution during gestation and early childhood, assess the role of common environmental pollutants and protective dietary factors on foetal growth and neuro-endocrine-immune development to develop health indicators.
- Air pollution and health.Study of the relationship between air pollution and health effects, with multi-centre studies being carried out. Studies are also carried out to evaluate the impact of pollution on the health of populations.
- Weather , climate, and health.Evaluation of the relationship between climatic factors and weather variables, especially ambient temperature and health, as well as public health measures that can minimise the impact of foreseeable future climate changes.
